Oh it's called conjugation so that'll be 'C' option!

Answer:

The correct answer is C.) conjugation

Explanation:

Bacteria can not reproduce sexually therefore to gain the variation in their genetics they take the help of horizontal gene transfer mechanism. These mechanisms include three processes called conjugation, transformation and transduction by which bacteria gain extra genetic material from outside.  

Conjugation is the process by which one bacteria gets the genetic material from another bacteria by making contact with each other with the help of sex pilli present on their cell surface.

These sex pilus of bacteria joins together and allow the movement of genetic material from donor to recipient bacteria. Therefore, the right answer is C.) conjugation.

What moves the chromatids around during cell division
REY [17]

Answer:

Metaphase leads to anaphase, during which each chromosome's sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. ... More specifically, in the first part of anaphase — sometimes called anaphase A — the kinetochore microtubules shorten and draw the chromosomes toward the spindle poles.

Carbohydrates contain carbon characterized by the atomic grouping H-C-OH and
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Carbohydrates, like all organic molecules, always contain carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms. Carbohydrate molecules are characterized by the presence of the atomic grouping H-C-OH, in which the ratio of hydrogen atoms (H) to oxygen atoms (O) is approximately 2:1. Because this ratio is the same as the ratio in water, the name “hydrates of carbon” seems appropriate. Carbohydrates first and foremost function for quick, short-term energy storage in all organisms, including humans.

On a tour of African countries, Mark contracts a bad case of traveler's diarrhea. Because he can't eat very much, his body start
melomori [17]
<h2>e) option is correct </h2>

Explanation:

Traveler's diarrhea is an intestinal infection that occurs as a result of eating or drinking contaminated food or water, food handlers who do not wash their hands after they use the bathroom can transmit the infection to people who consume the contaminated food

Due to diarrhea, kidney don't work properly and level of urea increases in blood

Due to the low carbohydrate intake, ketosis occurs in which stored fat is metabolized which results in build up of acids called ketones

If the body starts to use energy sources other than carbohydrates then it means it is using the stored energy, gluconeogenesis fulfills glucose requirement of cell by synthesis of glucose from non carbohydrate material

To supply with energy lipid metabolism occurs, fatty acids are oxidized and energy in the form of ATP is produced
